It denoted a storage chest containing small supplies for a lumber camp,a boat outfitted to carry such supplies,or, as in Algonquian, the camp equipment and provisions.In Alaska, on the western edge of the vast territory inhabited by Algonquian-speaking tribes,the same word was borrowed into English to indicate a little temporary hut, usually built on a log raft to be towed to wherever men were working. According to Russell Tabbert of the University of Alaska,wanigan is still used in the northernmost regions of Alaska to mean "a small house, bunkhouse, or shed mounted on skids" to be dragged along behind a tractor train as a place for a work crew to eat and sleep. However, Tabbert notes that in southeast Alaska, where mobile homes are a common option for housing,wanigan now means an addition built onto a trailer house for extra living or storage space. Classified advertisements for trailer homes frequently mentionwanigans. Wanigan 很显然是从奥吉布瓦语 waanikdan 而来, “储物处”从动词waanikkee (意为“在地上挖洞”)而来。 牛津英语词典 里的19世纪的引文表明,该词当时主要与缅因语相连。 它指示供应木料营地用的贮物箱,载有供应品的小船,或如在阿尔贡金语中所指的宿营装备或供应品。在阿拉斯加讲阿尔贡金语部族居住的广大土地西端,该词被借入到英语中,表示一个通常是建在木筏上的临时性小屋,每当人们搬迁的时候就将其拽走。根据阿拉斯加大学的拉塞尔·泰伯特所言,wanigan 仍然用于阿拉斯加最北部地区,意为用牵引车牵引着的供一工作组食宿的“建于轮子上的小房子、工房或工棚”。 但是泰伯特指出,在阿拉斯加东南部常选择活动房作为住所,wanigan 现在的意思是供额外居住或贮存用的一个活动房屋的附加物。 关于活动房屋的分类广告经常提到wanigans 〔burrow〕To dig a hole or tunnel in or through.挖洞,挖隧道:在…中或穿过…挖洞或挖隧道
